We had a system like this where I work. The system was built by a company
that we regularly do business with. It turned out that the hard drive was
set as a slave, but it was the only hard drive in the machine. After
changing the settings it has worked fine.

Graham,

How much wattage did you provide with your power supply?  For that CPU and
amount of memory, I'd think you should use a 300 W power supply.  Rebooting
is a symptom of the power supply overreaching it's maximum ability or going
bad, though other problems can cause this symptom as well.

I have recently built a new system that keeps re-booting and I am not sure
why.
It is a Duron 1 gig CPU on a Gigabyte GA71XEH board with a TNT Rivia 16 mb
AGP card, 256 mb of SDRAM and a 56K Ambient modem. I have installed Win ME
and MS Office 2000 but nothing else on the 20 gig 5400 Seagate HDD.
